jjkopite Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 From BBC news The US has been accused of redirecting 200,000 Germany-bound masks for its own use, in a move condemned as "modern piracy". The local government in Berlin said the shipment of US-made masks was "confiscated" in Bangkok. The FFP2 masks, which were ordered by Berlin's police force, did not reach their destination, it said. Andreas Geisel, Berlin's interior minister, said the masks were presumably diverted to the US. The US company that makes the masks, 3M, has been prohibited from exporting its medical products to other countries under a Korean-War-era law invoked by President Donald Trump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well lets hope all the other countries will remember how the USA behaved during the crisis... I am pretty sure other countries can supply us with masks too. When we alread talk politically here I think it is possible that even the world alliances may change after the crisis. At the moment the USA does everything to drive Europe and maybe even Canada in the arms of China and Russia. At least these countries do not steal already paid goods from their allies... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore I suggest to confiscate all medical equipment made in 3M facilities in France and Germany. Maybe it would be a way to force these facilities to produce masks... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada and the EU: You are welcome to have Putin or Xi provide for your national defense, and have them provide charity and supplies every time there is a disaster. Nothing requires you to do business with the United States. And yes, this thread has now become a useless political blame blog when it should be more of a discussion about medical and biological science. Na discussions about turning off the power we supply the US will do the trick. It works both ways. Oh and the media for medical masks that you need for your hospitals comes from one and only one paper mill located in Nanaimo, British Columbia CANADA...so fuck you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maatiabada Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 objet de leur courrier est clair : "la gratuité exceptionnelle du réseau autoroutier". Dans une lettre datée du 1er avril 2020, Denis Sommer et Frédéric Barbier s'adressent au PDG d'APRR, le 4e groupe autoroutier d'Europe, qui gère 2323 kilomètres d'autoroutes avec sa filiale AREA (société des autoroutes Rhône-Alpes): "Dans cette situation exceptionnelle, il nous semblerait pertinent que les sociétés autoroutières (...) s'engagent sur de manière forte autour de deux points principaux: la gratuité du réseau autoroutier pour tous les trajets entre le domicile et le travail effectués par les travailleurs qui, quels que soient leurs statuts, ont à se déplacer pour une raison professionnelle autorisée pendant la période du confinement. Ce point permettrait notamment de faciliter l'accès au réseau pendant cette période particulière, la gratuité du réseau autoroutier pour l'ensemble de strajets liés à une mission de service public médical, social, de secours ou de sécurité pendant la pandémie que nous traversons. Ce point permettrait de diminuer, au moins en partie, l'effort financier considérable réalisé par toutes les structures apportant directement leur part à la lutte contre le coronavirus". Le réseau APRR revendique 20 millions de clients chaque année. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
